4nalog: “I realized that I’m good at working with my hands, and that’s how I became an e-sportsman”

Team Nemesis mid-man Joao ' 4nalog ' Gabriel Giannini, during an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, shared the reasons for becoming an e-sportsman, and also spoke about the actions that need to be taken to achieve results.

I grew up in a family where everyone was a football player - real professionals. And so my older brother and father said: “When this kid grows up, he will become the best football player of all time. We will teach him everything. He will be the next Ronaldo." They tried everything with me, taught me everything, but nothing worked for me. I realized that I was good at working with my hands, and that’s how I became an e-sportsman.

I put everything I have into it every day. In fact, I have well-developed self-discipline. But a good result comes from more than just what happens in the game itself. Rather, it is a more complex structure: you watch replays, analyze the game from the players’ point of view, spend time in the game, where you try to apply your work in a “this is good, but this is bad” format.

If you do everything correctly, the result will come by itself. So, I don't think about the result, I just do what needs to be done.

I still have the fire inside me, I still feel young, I still love the game. I just love playing in the moment and giving 100% right now.

Earlier it became known that following the results of the fourth day of the group stage of the Esports World Cup 2026, Team Nemesis and REKONIX took last place and lost their chances of reaching the playoffs.
